The vintage stylings of Heather Spriggs Thompson feel like a beautiful echo heard around the internet. She has set the bar high in the mainstream media, when it comes to making vintage pieces not only feel beautiful, but modern and comforting. Although she's only recently moved into her current home, it's already filled with picture-perfect places where you can easily see yourself...

...sipping a cup of tea or curled up with a good book. Heather is an artist and designer who lives and works in Nashville, Tennessee along with her husband and dog. She carries quite a passion for creating, crafting and curating her collections throughout her home and her hard work is obvious, as she's been busy painting up a storm and making her new space feel fresh and full of light. Along with painting her own home, she's a professional faux-painter and we bow down to her ability to create wood grain where there normally isn't!

Heather's ability to flawlessly blend old and new pieces comes from keeping a cohesive palette. It doesn't matter what era things are from as long as they look great together. She buys what she loves, hitting up antique, thrift and modern stores alike, to find pieces that play nicely together. You can keep track of Heather over at her blog, Gathering Spriggs and has a hand in two Etsy stores, Gathering Vintage and Gathering Spriggs.

Beds: Family heirlooms, and my husband's bachelor furniture repainted. (Ugh, someday we will have a grown up bedroom suite)

Artwork: My own-left over from art school , Flea Market, and made by friends (who are also artists) – one year I had a birthday party in a gallery and asked friends to make me art as a present. (great way to fill walls with unique art).
